The danger that is Netflix

Happy February everyone, I hope
you are keeping well during the shortest month of the year. A quick fact for
you about February, during common years February starts on the same day of the
week as both March and November, and during leap years it starts on the same
day of the week as August. However, this blog is not about February (although
events that have happened in February will be talked about), but is about the
on-demand internet media streaming service that is Netflix. For those of you
who use Netflix, you will understand binge watching. As the picture above would
suggest, I’ve just finished binge watching The Office (U.S), and it truly was a
great show. I am a fan of TV programmes in the form of a documentary/mockumentary,
which is probably why I really enjoyed The Office.

One thing I like about Netflix is
that it will suggest other things to watch. At the moment, I have chosen a
programme which is in no way related to what I have been watching, and am now
working my way through Fresh Meat. At first I wasn’t sure about it, but it
turned out to be pretty good. So based on the fact that I am a student, and
based on what I’ve written so far, it may become apparent as to why the title
of this blog includes the words danger
and Netflix in the same sentence.
Well, the simple fact of the matter is, I really should be getting on which the
plethora of assignments I have to do rather than spending my time watching
things on Netflix. It’s possible a good idea to take a break from watching
things and head to the library to do some work.

As with the previous blogs that I
have written recently, I will be including another fact at the end of this
which you may or may not find interesting. The fact for this blog is to do with
housing in the United States, and that there are more houses with no one living
in them, than there are homeless people. I find that fairly surprising, and
didn’t think there would be that many vacant houses. According to the
statistics, 3.5 million people were homeless in the United States, compared to
18.6 million vacant homes. This means there is enough for every homeless person
to have at least 6 houses! Quite a strange concept to think about.

Anyway, that’s it for this blog;
I hope you are all working hard and not watching too many things on Netflix!
Until next time everyone!
